I am currently a second year law student at Harvard Law School. I am passionate about public interest law, particularly immigration and criminal defense.

I am a lifelong francophile who has lived in Paris, France for almost a year. I am also an avid NCAA men's and women's basketball fan! Go Rams! Go Terps!

My B.A. is from Duke University and I completed all non-dissertation requirements for the Ph.D. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, which was then the 7th-ranked Economics Ph.D. Program in the U.S. I also taught macro- and micro-economics at La Salle and Drexel Universities. I was rated highly by the students. In fact, for a particular spring semester at La Salle, 25 students petitioned the university to open another section of my microeconomics course, as my sections were filled to capacity. As a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, I tutored undergrads and Wharton MBA students in their macro- and micro-economics courses. I bring to the table over 40 years of experience as an economist with the U.S. government, academia, and the private sector (including with a large multinational Canadian bank) in a wide variety of areas, including international trade, macroeconomics, industry issues, and an immigration program. Given my interest in teaching, I continued to train many others in my positions with the U.S. government, including 70 colleagues in my last position. I very much enjoy teaching and tutoring and seeing and helping others learn, grow, and develop. I realize that a good tutor/teacher is one who not only understands the subject, but can communicate it effectively, as well. My priority/goal is to help the student learn, and there are no "dumb" questions. (Anything is askable.) I also work to make it a pleasant, personable experience.

Hey! My name is Gavin Cramer, and I am excited to help you with all of your math needs! I have my undergraduate degree in applied mathematics with a minor in computer science from Auburn University, graduating this past May. I will also be beginning my master's in applied mathematics and statistics this fall at Johns Hopkins University. I have ample experience in a variety of sectors of mathematics, including algebra, geometry, and calculus, and am eager to share my knowledge on these subjects with students of all ages. I also have tutored before in my local community and was a learning assistant for college precalculus and calculus II this past schoolyear at Auburn. Looking forward to helping you hone your math skills!

As a recent graduate with a Bachelor's in Public Health from The University of Texas at Austin, I am deeply passionate about tutoring subjects such as biology, chemistry, and English. My experience includes over two years of tutoring, where I have honed a student-centered approach that emphasizes active listening and collaboration. I believe in making complex concepts engaging and relatable, whether learning the intricacies of genetics in biology or guiding a student in crafting a persuasive essay. My teaching philosophy centers on tailoring lesson plans to meet individual learning styles, ensuring that students not only grasp the material but also develop confidence in their abilities. Beyond academics, my background as a ballet teacher and swim coach has equipped me with the skills to connect with learners of all ages. I am eager to inspire a love for learning and help students reach their academic aspirations.

I have degrees from the University of Maryland and Caltech in astronomy and planetary science, and use physics in my research. I know from personal experience that a good teacher can be life-changing. With a strong science background, patience, and active listening skills, I help students excel in learning math, physics, and chemistry, as well as admissions test-prep.

I am a third-year student at Durham University in England, pursuing my bachelor's degree in International Relations and Politics, with a special interest in environmental affairs. Although I am a student in the UK, I was born and raised in Washington, D.C. I started to teach at the age of 13, teaching taekwondo to students of all ages. Once I entered high school, I began to tutor writing skills, and I am now reaching two years of tutoring for Varsity Tutors. Since starting my tutoring journey, I've found that the subjects I enjoy most are AP Environmental Sciences, AP English Composition, and all forms of writing. I've familiarized myself with the AP structure for years, and make sure a part of my lessons is focused on deconstructing the intimidating nature of both the exams and what is learned. Despite the thorough structure of AP curricula, I like to take what I have learned beyond when I took the course, from personal experiences and higher education, and apply it to my lessons. I aim to demonstrate how the taught material isn't just words on a page, but something applicable to real life and worth taking an interest in beyond the class. I find that students lose motivation when they feel their learning is being wasted on something only relevant to a grade; hence, showing them how learned material works in the world around them or impacts them directly can make a huge difference in how they connect with the material and, in turn, how they process it. This is most true for writing, as it is a person's inner thoughts exposed on paper for others to see. The most gratifying feeling I've felt after years of tutoring is seeing a student connect with a certain writing style or idea, and commit themselves to their work out of passion rather than obligation. I've seen this passion ignite through normal coursework, college application essays, job proposals, and even adults aspiring to start a writing career. Outside of my passion for academia, I still find time to enjoy my hobbies. Taekwondo is my first love, and now I have the honor of coaching my university's taekwondo team! Beyond this, playing the violin and piano is my favorite way to decompress after a long day, and I've built a Dungeons and Dragons campaign as a creative outlet and a way for my closest friends to connect outside of the chaos of day-to-day life.

As a dedicated educator with a Master's degree in Film from Columbia University, I have experience teaching Creative Writing, Film and Media Studies, and various writing levels from elementary to high school. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express their ideas and creativity. I am passionate about helping students develop their writing skills and critical thinking abilities, as I believe these are essential for academic success and personal growth. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy exploring literature and film, which continually inspires my teaching and enriches my students' learning experiences. I also love attending movies, plays, and live music events, museum exhibitions, and enjoying time with friends.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
